Siobhan O' Hagan where do you start.
All of her sponsors, if they had any sense, should drop her after her drinking posts the other night and the antics during a global pandanmic. It is an utter disgrace and a kick in the face to Frontline works, HSE workers and inspectors,our health system, our elderly and our vulnerable. Comes home to be "with her family and close to home", can they all just be honest and say they didn't have health insurance and didnt want to be in poor hospital facilities should the pandanmic hit Bali! Instead of feeding followers with the bullshit of wanting to be close to family and then not being anywhere near them!!!

Siobhan will read this and "everyone's picking on her" and "it was just a few drinks" and "we're all over reacting". Or continue to do what she's doing, lie low and let it blow over, come on do her yoga, do her coffee thoughts, underline a few quotes on a book and do a few swipe ups for my protein. How anyone can follow this or pay for one of her programmes blows my mind!

The girl infuriates me, has no concept what so ever of real life, her referral to the 9-5 wasn't for her and the same thing day in day out. Covid aside, can someone please explain to me what is not mondan about her life in Bali? Gets up, trains in gym for few hours, socials with friends, eats out, socialise at sunset- there's nothing wrong with it but it is a routine? But just because you are in Bali-somehow it's not??

Her training and lifesytle, evidently someone who is battling with some demons,body diamorphina, eating disorder or disordered eating. Doesn't diet....but is intermittent fasting...doesn't diet....but is watching what she's eating or being good. Then in same breath will preach about yolo and eat what you want "everything in moderation"!?!? Doesn't she listen to herself??!? Her eating binges and eating habits are a terrible example for someone impressionable following her and for someone who classifies themselves as a PT. Her opinion and views changes like the weather, vegan...not vegan...CrossFit... not CrossFit...MMA...Hitt....not now it's Liss....the list goes on and on!

Like what some others have said above, does not have a clue about separating business and personal! Can you imagine if any of us went out on Friday and posted photos or videos of it to our LinkedIn profile! So unprofessional! Career suicide, she has no concept of business accumin and no differentiation between personal and business content.

I'm interested to see where Siobhan is as she hits her mid to late 30s....where new bloggers, influencers and vloggers come on board with something newer or if the social media industry changes due to legislation, taxation and transparency. Maybe the boring 9-5 or the life she hated and the acturial degree might start to be appealing, as the #sp doesn't pay a pension or get you health insurance. Again, the whole life she depicts is so delusional to younger impressionable viewers.

I agree... I have never ever felt the need to settle down. For the last ten years I have lived in different countries and have never felt the urge to be married with children. I just think different strokes, different folks. I have been seeing a guy for 2.5 years and its still going at a snails pace but I love it. I just think some people have commitment issues, myself included. If she wants to live like that, then fair enough. I dont think she is hurting anyone
I absolutely agree with you that not everyone needs to marry, buy the house, etc. if that's not their thing. I applaud anyone who follows their dream, but Siobhan is one of these people who almost scoffs at those who do go down that route, like she's better than them because she walked away from a stable 9 to 5. Living differently for me, isn't flogging shitty gym leggings through affiliate links and ripping people off with diet and fitness programs that you can't even be arsed to follow yourself. When I think of people living differently, I think of Ungraceful Guide. They are living a very full, yet very simple life all over the world and are now planning how they are going to continue to do that when their baby arrives. They earn money creating websites and they live within their means. They don't need to resort to selling their souls to do it. Siobhan wants her followers to pay for what is essentially her and her mates on the sesh and eating out in a country that gets more sunshine than Ireland. That's not living differently, that's an extended Club 18-30 holiday.

Siobhan is hugely insecure and that’s why she has to tell her followers everyday about how smart she is, how she likes to learn, how she reads books, she has a maths degree, how many points she got in the leaving cert, she doesn’t watch Netflix (but does watch Netflix) because it’s a waste of time. I don’t know any 30 something year old that cares or even knows how they did in the LC. that’s just one part of her insecurities, I won’t even go into the food part.
She constantly belittles people who live a happy life in Ireland with their families and home yet whenever she has to come back she’s free loading off her parents and friends for places to stay. I’m happy with my home, travelling done years ago and more to do in the future but I love my life and my family and freedom to me is knowing that I have a stable life and am able to do things when I want. She harps on about her wanderlust and love of travelling but all she does is go from dublin to Portugal to canggu. Maybe England, maybe Thailand. She plants herself in the same towns and doesn’t move, doesn’t explore. She’s been in bali for how long now and when someone asked her about where to go she said she only knows canggu and can’t recommend anywhere else. Bali is tony, how can she not have seen different places? She went to Mexico and planted herself in a resort and gym and only under follower pressure did she see some caves. Compared to the likes of the Ungraceful Guide, she’s a hermit in a cave.
No way would I ever think freedom or “living differently” means prancing around in some leggings for money, eating prepped low calorie meals because they’re free and creating affiliate links to books on racism during times of riots Just to make a quick buck.
She’s always putting her ideas out there as gospel. She’ll watch a Netflix doc or read a sentence somewhere and decide that it is the only way. She practically regurgitates James Smith with calorie deficits, she was aaaalll about intermittent fasting before and now, like he, she calls it skipping breakfast. Remember she went on and on about going vegan? Because it was best for the environment? (despite how many needless flights she takes eg to England from Ireland or Portugal a few times a year let alone the long haul ones). We could then see her eating meat on her stories and she was like oh well I’ll eat meat when I want to. Then she stopped completely and we haven’t heard anything since. A walking contradiction who can’t commit to anything, not because she’s a hippy who goes with the flow but because she’s clueless and turns with the wind.

First time poster! More fool me but I'm so disappointed she did not come on and address the weekend, or apologise, or admit she was in any way wrong, blame the drink blah blah. I really thought she might come on and say something, at least we might have had a small bit of respect if she at least did that.
Just to totally ignore and pretend like nothing happened is crazy! I've followed her from the start, used her AF link to buy c**p and always thought she was OK. But I just unfollowed, I really am so disgusted at her behaviour.

Doesn’t SOH buy followers? I think I remember that Irish fit fam call our page from years ago having a social blade post about her.
Are you serious???

So I said I would just compare my experience with what I see out of SOH. I am into fitness but definitely have leaned more for getting stronger, eating more food etc etc. Obviously Siobhan advocates this too. Now Fitspo wise I definitely lean towards people that it's more a Lifestyle but also good Coachs and if I'm looking at "Competitors", I like to see I guess Women who don't compete back to back and with the whole "Leaning down", obviously inform you that it's temporary and how they come out of the deficit etc after. I'm a fan of the WBFF as it seems a bit more fun, like Victorias Secret but the women obviously lift and eat more! So while I'm not a Competitor at all, this is how I approach say my fitness or any fatloss! I know years ago I dieted almost constantly and didn't know about negative adaptations etc etc. Anyway this is leading me to Online Fitness programs and the difference I have seen with the likes of Siobhan and her carry on and my own current experience! I am currently on my 2nd 8 week Challenge with Lauren Simpson Fitness, I did 1 before Christmas which was genuinely really excellent!! I was actually suprised at the Quality in the program. It basically got me stronger, leaner and ready for the busy Foaling season I work Nights at from Jan to May/June. So I am on my 2nd one because I wanted the Guidance for at Home training etc. Now obviously you can go see information on the Challenges and for the price which is one off and works out at like like 9 quid a week, compared to SOH subscription prices. But just the Flat out difference in 2 Coachs is astounding! Lauren Simpson herself is a World Champion but is not a strung out competitor, she basically aims for 1 top show. She doesn't bash Competing at all unlike Siobhan, but uses her experience to teach. She is so mannerly and I find this a massive thing, so mannerly, supportive, INVITES YOU TO DM HER ANYTIME, tells you she will be in there ANSWERING!! Because why? It's her job! Unlike Siobhan who literally acts like her Clients are a burden! Lauren educates you about food, her own Recipes with basic every day choices i.e to help you! And she cooks at home as much as normal and say takes u along on a Grocery shop for example? I have NEVER SEEN SIOBHAN DO THIS???!!! it's called Work?? Customer care etc! Lauren will show you a night out ok,and like encourages you to do this if you want i.e so much coaching surrounding the typical fears around say being Social and fitness goals. BUT DOES NOT SHOW YOU THE WHOLE NIGHT OR FALLING AROUND DRUNK?? Also does not show you constant ads or affiliate codes. Lauren also had Bowel surgery earlier in the year and documented her own say recovery, her own fears, her Muscle loss and her Calorie Surplus to try and get back in some condition. Just the difference is astounding in 2 people that do the same job??? The difference in Work Ethic, treating your Clients properly and ACTUALLY USING THE PLATFORM YOU ARE SELLING! Lauren uses the APP that she basically developed, and yet Siobhan uses someone elses Coaching instead of her own?? Sorry for the lengthy post but I have found this utterly mind boggling as to how Siobhan does the same job!!

I just watched SOH's stories..and I've finally woken up to "influencers."
Literally all they want to do is make money off their followers by doing nothing but sitting on their backsides and posting "swipe ups" and ads.
How awful. What are they giving to society?

Siobhán is suddenly a make up brand ambassador? Is she serious? Who is falling for her shit at this stage?
The underlining of books...The absolute height of narcissism. No one cares!
"Living differently" but queueing for Penneys the minute it opens to buy socks stitched together in under developed countries for a pittance?

I think the fact she stayed away from her family for so long and chose to live with friends instead speaks volumes about her.
Her mother was alone at home and "high risk" as Siobhan put it, but poor Siobhan couldn't face sleeping in her childhood bedroom. I think she's the most self-absorbed person on Instagram.

Someday in the next few years she'll look around and all her Bali crew will have grown up, come home and settled down. And there'll be a new generation in Bali. She'll be trying to make friends with them and she'll be known as the weird Irish girl has been middle aged peterpan they can't get rid of who keeps showing up to their nights out. Then the penny will drop and she'll realise she's a moron with no friends. All the while saying she's happy and content when she's anything but!

Getting sinead heg a kindle probably wasn't the best idea, how will she be Able to underline and highlight?!

Question box asking on her opinion on contraception;

"not anti pill, anti misinformation"

Yes Siobhan, so are we, so are we!!!! Maybe take some of your own advice?

I'm anti misinformation too;
-I'm anti someone promoting a #yolo lifestyle and scrapping the 9-5 when in fact you are just the same as everyone else & have a routine- take a look at your stories- same $hit everyday. Yoga, coffee, read, journal, myprotein promo, order food & repeat.

-I'm anti someone promoting what they call is a "balanced and healthy" lifestyle, when you punish yourself with cardio & starve yourself with intermittent fasting because you've done the dog on it over a long weekend.

-I'm anti someone promoting or broadcasting on something you have no knowledge on, just because you've read and underlined a few lines in a book.

-I'm anti someone insulting mental health and suggesting they have SAD, because you can't handle anything which isn;t Bali weather.

Nah I’m sorry but today’s stoic wisdom has pissed me off.

“When the pandemic hit, I always said it was those who were most adaptable that would do well.....

....Those identifying with labels or putting a lot of worth on their career were probably most worried.”

YES YOU DAFT BINT OF COURSE THOSE WITH ACTUAL CAREERS ARE WORRIED
BECAUSE WE HAVE ACTUAL JOBS WHICH WE RELY ON TO PAY OUR BILLS AND EAT.

SORRY WE CANT ALL LIVE ON FREE TAMPAX MEALS AND SWIPE UPS.

Urgh so annoyed. Wish she had her DM’s turned on so that I could tell her that she’s an absolute knob.

Sadly, a lot of people won’t make it out of this with a job to go back to. Does that mean it’s their fault because they were not adaptable? I’m fizzing!

I couldn’t leave this one go without commenting, does anyone remember a couple years ago when SOH was prepping for the bikini comp and she used to use all disposable plates and forks for all her meals?? Then followers messaged her and said how they thought it was so unnecessary etc. She was moaning that people give out about everything you do 🙄 painful. Not an inspiration in any way. Unhealthy relationship with food herself. The bullshit videos about confidence also grind my gears. You are not qualified in any way to give any form of advice about confidence. Just stick to highlighting stoic quotes and giving yourself wedgies for the gram.

Thats an unbelievable apartment they have. I would say 4 grand for the month easy. This is something that bugs me. Both Siobhan and Sinead have previously stated that "money is not everything" as if they are getting by on the scrapings of tin. This year alone Siobhan was able to fly 6people for a 2 week holiday in South Africa, drop 5k on a first class flight home, rent a beautiful villa in Balipay for 3 months probably extortionate rent in Dublin and eat out at least once a day. I wish she would stop advising people that the key to happiness is to reduce expenditure. Its not that simple. Just admit you live a very, very comfortable life on what is more than likely a well above average income. And btw I dont begrudge her the income she has developed a brand and a business so power to her for that.

New member to this I think it was Becca that mentioned this site on her Instagram and l came over for a look. Majority of things said i agree with. I have been following SOH for about 4 years and I used to really like the girl. She seemed to be very motivated to help others and show how to do it by making a few smart changes to her lifestyle but she has either completely changed or just shown her true self in the 4 years. Here are my issues she contradicts herself constantly. I hate running blah blah now she is converted. She is all for saving the planet but flies at any given opportunity. Takes the family away on a once in a life time trip to South africa doesn't see them for 3 months in ireland. She doesn't cook and almost looks down on those that do she takes pride in not cooking. She also takes pride in not washing her own clothes. She looks down on people that for their own reasons can't be in travelling. She talks about her skin yet doesn't want to hear what her followers have to say. She can't tie herself down in renting incase she can go away again suddenly she is talking about the fitness furnace again when she needs the money. We never hear about it in Bali. She looks great in ireland like she has gotten super lean because she isn't around all those posers in Bali out every meal time and drinking. Now that the weather is bad we will all hear about it like it's not the worst thing in the world she bloody grew up in ireland u would swear she didn't know what Irish summer's where like. She gets obsessed with certain people currently it's Sinead but it used to sonny and there was another guy maybe Ben was his name when she did the comp. She doesn't act her age. I feel like when she is around normal people she calms down like with leanne but loses the run of herself in Bali. And please someone take the highlighter and pens off her. I have a real problem with marking the books i used to get second hand school books and would sell mine at the end of the year I would keep them in pristine condition to get the best money she has little to no respect for them in my opinion. I don't message influencers but I did when Nike did a plus size range and I message her to ask her opinion and she wrote back "why wouldn't they do a plus size range" so i had to defend myself saying i think its great. Next day she is like ive gotten lots of messages about the nike range and did give her opinion but i felt like i was bothering her with my question. Anywathat's all I have to say.

Siobhan is obviously on here reading and now her content is a very passive aggressive response to the points that are being made.

There are now more #AF and #SP on her posts, if there was no truth to it -she would ignore it and continue as she was. She's obviously taken on board some of the points made- that she agrees with or has been told by sponsors that she needs to behave differently. Everything else is a passive aggressive pink highlighted response - which just enunciates her immaturity.

The reference to doing meditation to deal with the rainy weather :rolleyes: . O MY GOD GET OVER IT!!!! Coming to Ireland and giving out about the rain, is the same as going to the North Pole and giving out about the snow!! She's from Ireland - what did she expect. And I find it sooooooo negative and so damaging to the tourist industry. You have other bloggers- Louise Cooney, Bella Azure, Lisa Jordan, Tara Makeup, The Garrihty sisters- all promoting the country and encouraging people to do a staycation and all the wonderful things to do in Ireland. Verses Dumb and Dumber- stay in an apartment and give out about the rain.

Again, opinion changing like the weather(pun intended). Few months back, loves her natural hair, nails, no makeup, no extensions. Comes back to Ireland- nails, hair, tan makeup and lashes. A walking contradiction.

The friendship between her and Sinead Begerty doesn't seem natural to me, it feels very forced and at times like Sinead is the annoying little sister trying to be like her older sister. Following her around like a dog with a bone- coffee thoughts, yoga in the morning, daily emails.... can Sinead not find her own thing to do or have a bit of originality.

I just saw this..... LOLLLLL!!!

What an absolute douche?? First of all how the hell is she sure of what she's eating if she never prepares a single thing? Even her ready meals wouldn't be accurate but she eats a pile of takeaways and boozes? And like hello IT'S THE RUNNING? No hate on running for Cardio but it's typical of running to make you lose weight i.e drive you into a Deficit and muscle loss?? She's basically gotten smaller and has hardly any muscle?? Such a charlatan, no guidance whatsoever to her clients!!
I have to say, for someone who constantly goes on about how she doesn’t give a shit how lean she does or does not look, it’s all about living life etc., The moment she leans up a bit she can’t help but bring attention to it, posting up pics of her midriff saying she doesn’t know how she’s done it, she wasn’t trying etc. It’s clear to see she has deep issues with self confidence whether she admits it or not.

I’m pretty sure they can’t because they’re under contract. Guarantee they’ll still post swipe ups 😂
Louise Cooney talked about it yesterday. She’s sponsored by all those brands. She didn’t name them but linked people to stephmylife who spoke in detail about it. Siobhan and co could easily do it but they live off of exploiting other people. The reason they love living in Thailand and Bali is because they exploit the local, cheap labour for their food, nails, hair and apartments and pay for it easily with their western money from exploiting vulnerable women who want to lose weight. They all wear cheap, disposable clothing and claim to love nature and the world. They’ve got fucked up morals
